Image of the proposed central Atrium space within the Eston Health Village project
Recent images (courtesy of the P+HS in-house visualisation team!) of the proposed Eston Health village in Middlesbrough that went before a public consultation meeting last week. The 6500m2 ‘village’ combines five locally based GP practices along with accommodation for Planned Care, Integrated Care team facilities, Optician, Pharmacy, Dentist, Health Store and a new public library, all of which are linked by a central atrium space. Although the scheme was well received by the general public, there was a heated ’discussion’ regarding the proposed name of the building! The scheme is due to go to planning in mid-September 2007.
